Collision dynamics of Skyrmions in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate
arXiv:1601.01773 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.93.033611
Abstract
The dynamics of Skyrmions in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate are numerically investigated in the mean-field theory. When two Skyrmions collide with each other, they are first united and then scattered into various states. For head-on collisions, Skyrmions with unit winding number are scattered. The collision dynamics with an impact parameter are shown to depend on the relative phase. These dynamic processes are characterized by integer winding numbers.
